Subject: ADRC: 717A
Dear Bryan and Tom,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'A novel Sex-lethal germline promoter?'
You mention a new Sxl allele, SxlfPS1, and say
Most useful was SxlfPS1, a 4.5 kb intragenic deletion generated by
mobilization of a P-element in exon 2. Could you tell me the progenitor
strain for SxlfPS1 so that I can record its provenance accurately?
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.
PS: Bryan's email address is not in FlyBase, so I'm sending it to both of
you at Tom's address.

Dear Rachel,
Well, let's see. I'll have to make up a name. Let's call it SxlM1,fPw+c.
That is a PlacW insertion into exon 2 that is a null. But perhaps I should
point out that both SxlfPS1 and SxlM1,fPw+c are on a SxlM1 background
(that's a gof 9.5 kb roo insertion between exons 3 and 4, hence it is still
present in its original form in fPS1).
Regards,
Tom Cline
